Chapter 33: Mr. Turtledove
Pajaqili and Hulu listened to the old man's words and made fiery wine, and all the people of the grassland worshipped it. Pajaqili held a banquet to thank the old man, and asked for the old man's name during the banquet. The old man laughed: "I am a pariah, I learned some fur from the sages, and everyone else calls me Mr. Turtledove." ”
Pajaqili took a sip of fiery wine: "Tsk, why is the old man called Mr. Turtledove, as far as I know, all the scholars in the Central Plains regard themselves as Wolong Young Tiger Qilin, how can Mr. take the name of Turtledove"
The old man also took a sip of the fire wine, and frowned: "This Mr. Turtledove was obtained by my wife, I am sloppy and unkempt, I can only wear one piece of clothing in the windy and snowy weather like today, and in the summer I may wear a cotton jacket to sweat, my wife said that I don't know the spring and autumn in the grass, so I call myself Mr. Turtledove"
Pajaqi didn't ask deeply, and raised his glass to toast, but Dunhulu spoke: "Mr. has lived in my Mobei for more than ten years, and still refuses to show people his real name and surname?" We prairie people have always been upright and regard Mr. as their own father, but Mr. still maintains a mystery, which really makes the little woman deeply regretful."
When Mr. Turtledove heard this, he hurriedly got up: "But it's serious, the old man is a poor scholar, not from a big family like Wang Xie Xiaochen, but just a descendant of a poor family, so the untouchable Hu Gao has never told him, and what I know is just some gags and scraps."
Only then did Hu Lu smile: "Sir is so honest, I will also call you Mr. Turtledove in the future, now the Great Khan has suffered a big loss in the Central Plains, and the wind and snow are raging on the grassland, thanks to Mr. to keep our cattle, sheep and horses, so that our grassland people do not freeze to death and starve to death." Please, sir, where will our Black Flag Khanate go in the future? “
Pajachili was also looking at Mr. Turtledove Hu Gao, Hu Gao took a big sip of wine and shook his head: "Since Kedun and Khan appreciate their faces, the old man will talk about wine nonsense." Today's Black Flag Khanate is the weakest force in the world, the west is not as noble as the Green Flag Khanate, the east is not as good as Goryeo, the south is subject to the Qin and Liang countries, and the north is the boundless ice field. The Black Flag Khanate is now in the most dangerous situation, and it is unknown what the Great Khan and Kedun think? ”
Pajaqili bowed his head silently, and Kulu also muttered for a while: "Since our Black Flag Khanate is the weakest, why hasn't anyone attacked us until now?" ”
Hu Gao took another sip of wine: "Hey, other countries also think the same, Qin wants the Green Flag Khanate to annex us, and then the Qin State will reap the benefits of the fisherman, the Green Flag Khanate wants the Qin State to go north to exterminate us, and the Green Flag Khanate can also sit back and enjoy its success, and the Liang State is wishing that we would reach a pot of porridge in the north, and they will serve us in a pot." Although we are the most dangerous, no country dares to attack us as a bird."
Suddenly, he was puzzled: "Mr. said that we were the weakest and most dangerous for a while, and then said that no one dared to hit us first, which seems to be inconsistent."
Hu Gao raised his glass: "Kedun, no contradiction, this competition for the world, sometimes it is who is more stupid, who is worse, and who is more unbreathable." In the current situation, we should take the initiative to make friends with the surrounding countries, recuperate, and wait for us to retrain the 30,000 iron horsemen, and then we can go to the Central Plains."
As soon as he heard about the Central Plains, Pajaqili came to his senses: "According to what Mr. said, in a few years, we can go south again?" There are fewer and fewer iron pots on the grassland, even if it is to grab a few iron pots, we have to go south."
Hu Gao waved his hand: "Great Khan, our first step is not to go south, if we go south, we will either use the Qin State to fight the Liang State and give the Qin State a chestnut, or we will unite the Liang State to fight the Qin State, and finally the Liang State will unify the Central Plains." Our first step is only to march eastward, to the city north of Youzhou, and to subdue Goryeo. Then sit and watch Qin and Liang compete for power, Qin State sits on the poop to fight Qin State, Liang State is strong and assists Qin State, anyway, the Central Plains cannot be turned into a monolith. ”
Hu Lu couldn't help but interject: "Mr. is also from the Central Plains, why do you have to help our Black Flag Khanate to conquer the Central Plains?" ”
Hu Gao took a sip of wine: "Back then, I wrote tens of thousands of words of good policies for governing the country, but I was convicted of disturbing the court, imprisoned for 30 years, and my family was ruined. ”
Pajaqili clapped his hands and laughed: "Mr. is fast-talking, love and hate clearly, Ben Khan is very respectful, Ben Khan will worship Mr. as a national teacher today, give me advice, and help me compete in the Central Plains!" ”
Hu Lu also continued: "Mr. is talented, but unfortunately the Central Plains cannot be used, if Mr. does not dislike it, he will stay in Mobei to educate the grassland soldiers and people, and contribute to the Great Khan." I will also add a servant to my husband's marriage."
Hu Gao knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain is willing to contribute to the Great Khan and Kedun, but the villain swore that he would never marry a wife again for the rest of his life, so he can only refuse Kedun's good intentions." What's more, I'm used to being sloppy, and I'm not used to being disciplined," Hu Gao caught lice on his body as he spoke. Hu Gao caught more than a dozen lice, threw them into the stove and crackled, and he had to endure it when he was about to vomit out.
Seeing this, Pajaqili had no choice but to laugh: "Mr. talks about lice, Ben Khan is very honored, it seems that Dingding Central Plains is just around the corner."
Hu Gao grimaced: "Isn't the Great Khan afraid that I will ask for money for an official position?" ”
Pajaqili spread his hands: "The national teacher uses money, at will, the people and money of the Black Flag Khanate are at the mercy of the national teacher."
Hu Gao raised his glass and saluted: "Meng Da Khan will not give up, the bad old man will come to mix and mix, I don't have anything to want, the wine is full, and the meat is enough."
The generals around Pajaqili shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this old man was cheating on eating and drinking, but at this time, due to the face of the Great Khan and Kedun, it was not easy to attack, and the generals had to discuss privately to embarrass the old man. The five old men of the fire dragon clan also hated itchy, and the cattle and sheep that were originally sacrificed to the ancestors could be returned to them, but now the original old man was mixed up, and all of them were gone, so he also privately embarrassed Hu Gao by plucking the herdsmen.
But after several months, no one was still embarrassed by Hu Gao, but was unhappy to drink and eat meat with him.
